The Iowa Rock...

My blogging buddy Skunkfeathers is well known for his highly intelligent Pet Rock, Seymour. In fact, Seymour has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize! If you don't read Skunks' blog, you're missing a real treat...it's a "hoot!"

But this is the story of a different rock from the mailbox:

There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy 25 in rural Iowa ...

For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.

It's quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll down and check out the multiple photos. (all angles) of the rock.

I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.

(As always, click on 'em to get the "big picture.")
